SELJUQ OF RUM: The three brothers, 1249-1259, AR dirham (3.06g), uncertain mint, AH652, A-1227, Izm-601 (same dies), superb bold strike, choice About Unc, RR. Izmirlier suggests Sivas for this mint, but the style is typical of Konya, never of Sivas for the three brothers. I am inclined to regard this piece as a contemporary imitation of the standard Konya issue of this year, possibly by the Armenians, whose power was still substantial under the contemporary king Hetoum I.
